32. The provisions of this section shall apply when the organized
militia, or any part thereof, shall be ordered out for active duty or train-
ing by the Governor, or by his authority; but shall not apply to the organ-
ized militia, or any part thereof, which has been ordered to duty incident
to a call, or ordered into the active military service of the United States.

The individual members of the organized militia ordered out for active
duty or training by the Governor, or by his authority, shall receive the pay
herein specified for each day actually on such duty...

Officers shall receive the same per diem pay, including longevity, as
officers of the Regular Army of like grade and length of service; provided,
that nothing in this section shall be construed as authorizing the Ranking
Line Officer to draw any salary except that authorized and provided in
the budget. Enlisted men shall receive the following: First grade, Master
Sergeant, four dollars and twenty cents; second grade, First Sergeant and
Technical Sergeant, two dollars and eighty cents; third grade, Staff Ser-
geant, two dollars and forty cents; fourth grade, Sergeant, two dollars;
fifth grade, Corporal, one dollar and seventy-five cents; sixth grade, Private,
First Class, one dollar and fifty cents; seventh grade, Private, one dollar
and twenty-five cents.

Whenever pay is allowed by the United States for the organized militia,
or any part thereof, ordered out for training, by the Governor, or by his
authority, and the rate of pay allowed by the United States is less than
the amount set forth in this section, the difference shall be paid out of the
funds appropriated for the support of the organized militia.

In addition to pay, each enlisted man shall receive rations, or commu-
tation thereof, as prescribed by the Governor.

Each enlisted man, who has served a full three-year term of enlistment
and who re-enlists within ninety days after the expiration of his previous
enlistment, shall receive an increase of 10 per cent of his pay during this
enlistment, and for each three years of enlistment served thereafter an
increase of 10 per cent shall be granted, not to exceed forty per cent.

Each enlisted man who qualifies as prescribed by the Governor in small
arms practice or as proficient in the various duties of the branch or arm to
which he belongs, shall be paid the following increase in the pay of their
respective grades for a period of one year beginning on January first fol-
lowing such qualification: Experts, 20 per cent; sharpshooters, gunners,
drivers, and medical, first class, 15 per cent; marksmen, gunners, drivers,
and medical, second class, 10 per cent.

For all purposes of this section, officers and enlisted men of the organized
militia, who entered the military or naval service of the United States in
the Spanish-American or subsequent wars, shall be entitled to credit for the
time served in such service as if the service had been rendered in the organ-
ized militia.
